About me
Hi, I’m Claire Smith, The Fear Strategist®.
I am a Life Coach for women, and my speciality is strategies to help you master fear and anxiety in your life and business.
The goal is simple: To help you overcome fear and experience more calm confidence, so that your goals become doable - not by using more willpower or by pushing harder - but through rapid anxiety relief and by recalibrating your Identity beliefs for long-term change - improving the way you see yourself and the world around you.
My work is deeply personal for each client. I value understanding and compassion and you can expect a safe space to talk and express your feelings, goals and needs.
If you’ve invested time, energy, and money into personal development, yet still feel like something isn’t shifting in the ‘real world’ – it’s not because you’re failing - it’s because most approaches don’t go deep enough or broad enough.
You may have tried mindset work that asked you to ‘think positively’ and say affirmations - yet your nervous system is still braced for danger. Or perhaps you tried working with strategies that focused on doing more without addressing who you were ‘being ’ underneath it all.
My approach centres around fear strategies and Identity recalibration, to help you experience transformation in the levels of confidence and inner power you feel, enabling you to reach your goals with the greatest ease - and with lasting success.
So if you’ve ever:
- Known what to do, but couldn’t bring yourself to do it
- Felt confident one moment, then doubted everything the next
- Made progress… only to pull back when visibility increases
That’s not a motivation problem. And it’s definitely not a ‘you ’ problem. It’s because the change work needs to meet you at the level fear and anxiety actually operates - beneath the thinking mind. Deep beliefs sit in the subconscious and within your nervous system and that's the empowering clearing work we will do together.
Whilst we can’t always control what we’re facing, we can control how we feel about and with the right support, tools, and gentle action, you can start to move through fear and anxiety with more ease, and feel more self-worth, confidence and inner power.
So if you:
- Are living a smaller life than you would like
- Are ready for action – but not sure where to start
- Are trying to deal with an issue that is holding you back.
- Feel stuck in an endless loop, but know there is another level to you
- Want to break free of people-pleasing
- Want to discover what you are really capable of
Then please contact me - I’d love to hear from you. It's time to unleash a new you and transform your life.

Alternatively you can begin straight away with my 'Insight Session' (£150) which is a powerful, personalised, 90-minute zoom call where we do a deep-dive into you, your current goals, and what is holding you back. You will transform through several coaching processes that allow you to experience what it feels like to be the version of you who has overcome the circumstances currently holding you back.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental.
I will take the time to get to know you personally, meaning I can serve you to the fullest during any ongoing time together.
I know that finding the right coach is important, and I want you to have the opportunity to experience me and my coaching in a relaxed way.
My coaching is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather tailor-made for you. My work is not just goal setting and accountability - it is focused upon helping you BECOME the person who can achieve your goals - now and in the future.
I provide a supportive, non-judgmental, and accepting environment where you can feel safe in our discussions.

Client Feedback
“As I post this, I am sending waves of gratitude to Claire. Her patience, kindness, heart and intuitive connection lead every step of her work. I’m not sure there was anyone else who could have cleared the path for me to take this step with as much ease.”
- D.N.
"I didn’t just feel ‘motivated’ after my sessions with Claire – I felt like a different woman. Something shifted in how I see myself. I stopped questioning myself and started making decisions from a place of confidence and certainty. It’s hard to explain… but I walked away feeling like I’d come home to myself.”
- N.S.
"Claire has an amazing way with her coaching - encouraging, calm and totally non judgmental. She allows you to explore your feelings on a subject even when prior to the session you don’t think you will be able to!! I honestly thought some of my beliefs were 'un-shiftable' after talking to Claire I saw them very differently!
I came away each time not with my head full to bursting with things I’ll never implement, but with 2/3 key action points that made a big difference to my mental load.
If you get a chance to work with Claire I would wholeheartedly encourage you to do so."
